(STATS) - The Jacksonville State seniors who played the last three seasons have not lost to an Ohio Valley Conference opponent - their team's conference winning streak stretching to 24 games since 2013.

It's the longest in Division I, and the seniors have every plan to finish their careers with the streak intact.

"It would mean more to the school, but it would definitely mean a lot to me knowing that we just put the grind in and nobody in the conference would beat us," said defensive end Darius Jackson, the OVC's 2016 defensive player of the year.
